Children with music instruments--one of the many things the children experience at First Path Daycare CenterWe believe that an education that centers around experiences and excitement is the best way for a child to learn. While many daycare centers traditionally offer playtime and enhanced care services without a stronger emphasis on curriculum, our primary objective is and has always been to enrich and enhance the life of every child. Through our varied programs, your child (or children!) will learn very important life lessons right from the beginning. They will learn to be independent, while also learning about teamwork. They will learn the value of leadership, support, emotional responsibility, sharing, and more. At First Path Day Care Center, we have designed our curriculum to encompass many areas that will spark their imagination, encourage curiosity, and make learning fun so your children will be versatile and fully enriched. Field Trips are one of the many tools we use to encourage your children's love of learning at First Path Daycare Center.Over the years our parents have been delighted with the growth and nurturing that their children experience as part of their time with us, and were gracious enough to provide us with testimonials.

Since I opened Linda's Family Child Care in 2002, my mission has been to provide excellent, licensed child care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a family child care home. I believe parents shouldn't struggle when deciding between a family child care and a center or preschool. Their children should receive the best of both worlds. So, I created a child care program that offers the closeness, attentiveness, and homeyness of a warm and nurturing home environment as well as the stimulation, learning experiences, and variety of a center or preschool. What is NeighborSchools? NeighborSchools helps experienced caregivers launch and operate licensed home daycares in Massachusetts. With better ratios and experienced caretakers, home daycare allows for more individualized attention for infants and toddlers. As a parent, you get a trusted partner for the long-term care of your child, right in your neighborhood, at a price you can afford.
